Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Enjoyable but a bit annoying too Comment: A very entertaining, instructive, informative and enjoyable DVD collection, which once you start watching you'll want to carry on until the end. But just a word of caution to the cleverer people out there. You may quickly get very annoyed at the constant exaggeration and over-emphasis of things, obviously done to try and capture an American audience I suspect. For example, a truck clipping a car's 'fender' becomes a 'crash', a few drops of diesel leaked are an 'ecological disaster', and, well, you get the idea. Also irritating is the constant 'repeating in summary' of events you have only just watched, with the same footage being shown over and over. If you can ignore this or live with it though, you will most certainly enjoy watching the whole series about a completely different way of life and way of earning money on the ice road in just 60 days. Customer Rating: Summary: coolest job in the world ;) Comment: Having seen this series on TV a while back, I made sure that I purchased it when it came out on DVD. I wasn't disapointed. The transfer to DVD hasn't dulled the experience. The scenery is still amazing, the job the truckers do is even more so. It follows the lives of 6 truckers over the course of 2 months, delivering various loads to the 3 diamond mines. The job these people do is inspiring. OK, they do it for a shed load of cash, but even so, taking a 20 tonne truck with a 50 tonne load onto 3 feet of ice is awe inspiring in anyones language. There is an addition not shown on Channel 5, where the truckers are round a table discussing their experience. This was an added bonus, and answers some questions that you had when watching the dvd, but to stretch it to 2 episodes, and miss out the episode of the history of the ice road (shown on TV) I thought was a missed opportunity. Overall, a must for anyones DVD collection. More Reviews
